Moreirense v Tondela: top-half push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Moreirense host Tondela in Liga Portugal on Sunday, 11 January 2026 at Parque Desportivo Comendador Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, with the seventh-placed hosts chasing the top half and the visitors trying to climb out of the bottom two.

The head-to-head record gives Tondela a slight historical edge, though the last meeting in April 2023 ended 2-1 to Moreirense in the second tier. The table picture is clear: Moreirense sit on 24 points in seventh, while Tondela are 17th with 12.

Recent form points to a competitive game. Moreirense have one win, three draws and one defeat in their last five league matches, including an away victory at AVS and a goalless draw at Estrela Amadora. Tondela have two wins and three defeats in the same span, bouncing back with home success over Arouca after losses to Porto, Nacional and Casa Pia.

On season trends, Moreirense have scored 23 and conceded 24, with 50% possession and 82.94% passing accuracy. Their threat from wide areas is notable, with seven headed goals and 20.37% cross accuracy from open play. Guilherme Schettine has nine league goals, while Dinis Pinto leads the assists chart with six. Tondela have 12 goals for and 28 against, average 43% possession and cross frequently from open play, though they have only one headed goal. With Moreirense having conceded seven penalties this season, pressure in the box from the visitors could offer a route in.

A home win would strengthen Moreirense's push towards the European places. Three points for Tondela could move them out of the relegation places and tighten the survival battle.
